I know you are all just dying to see how our trip ended right?
We had been wanting to ride the down town trolley ever since we got here, but the weather and Aaron's schedule kind of kept us from doing it all together. So we finally did it on the last day we were there. Cheap, fun entertainment!

They're replicas of the old street cars that used to go downtown and now they only have like 3 or something and they do a pretty small route but it was fun to ride it across the bridge over the river and through the downtown. The inside is all wooden and so it was very fun to feel like we were in the old trolley cars.
Our little driver man was cute and was telling us some facts as we went by some things downtown. He even told us about how when Mike Huckabee was the governor of Arkansas that the governor's mansion was being renovated and he had to live in a double-wide for a while! :) Then the driver said "Only in Arkansas right?" It was funny.
Another thing he told us was about Bill Clinton. He has a penthouse suite on the top floor of his presidential library (he was telling us this when we were right by the library). When the curtains are open he's there. If the curtains are closed, he is not there. The curtains were closed that day so he wasn't in Little Rock. Supposedly he does stay there every time he comes back to Little Rock. The interesting thing is that Hillary has never stayed there ever!
Here's some pics:
See how cool the insides are?
Going over the river
This was right after we left the Clinton Presidential Library. I love this picture because Brady wanted to be a big boy and hold on to the pole all by himself. I also love it because you can see the beautiful fall trees outside. That is one thing I really enjoyed about Arkansas-the fall trees and colors.
